A Southern Man Don’t Need Him Around Anyhow

get to unload the truck at work at like 7 in the morning.  then i get to spend probably the rest of the day fixing the starter in my sister's alleged car.
every inch of the starter in the alleged car is covered in oil.  it has 2 lines running over it, both of which are metal.  skippee. 
you kids have fun.

Take It To The Limit

ergh
came home to discover that the hard drive that has the windows installation on it (my dad's computer, i.e. internet access computer) is mostly dead.
I can probably pull it up to save all the important stuffs, but that is, at this point, an iffy proposition.  needless to say, i have spent the last 4 hours getting the other disk partitioned and prepared to take over in the former primary drive's place.
my opinion of western digital drives:
Myself, I wouldn't trust it to the end of the Earth.
Yes, but how far's that?
About 12 minutes I'd think.  Come on, I need a drink!

East Of Omaha

Just purchased something for someone's upcoming birthday.  She would probably slap me for it, but I get lucky because I won't be attending comic con.  Therefore, once I recieve it, I can wrap it up with a card and something else, and then drop it back into the mail, free of her wrath for another few days.
Go me!

Your Job’s A Joke

here i am freaking out because i can not see my previous entry.  then i remember just how i posted it.  gads, i am pathetic.
goodnight again

So No One Told You Life Was Going To Be This Way

So, yeah.
I think I am going crazy.
For real this time.
All the various issues I have had to deal with over the last 2 or 3 months, mostly at work, are getting to me in a serious way now.
My self control has been slipping in a serious way as a result of this.  I pretty much lost it the other night at work.  Needless to say, I am surprised that I still actually have a job.  The catch is, however, that was but a small preview of what is in store for whomever my wrath winds up being directed at if I completely lose it though. 
I really don't want that to happen.
So, I have done the only thing I can think to do.  The 10, 11, 12, & 13 of July I have requested off.  Mental Health Days.  Everyone needs them on occasion.  The whole two days off in a row thing is great, oh sure, but sometimes you really need more than that to get your stuff back together.  If that can hold me over until September, that will rock.  It would seem that a friend of mine from work has decided to take me to Las Vegas.  How fun will that be?
Anyway.
The only things holding my mind together at this point are my books and my sleep.
I got hold of Song of Susannah (Dark Tower VI) from the library.  Finshed that in 2 days.  Since I first picked up that one about 7 days ago, I started over with The Gunslinger (Dark Tower I).  I have now gone straight through to the point of being about 1/7 of the way through Wizard & Glass (Dark Tower VI).  We're talking about 1,532 pages in the last 9 days.
While I am thinking about it, I think I am going to need to get hold of Wolves of the Calla (Dark Tower V) and renew VI so I can make it through from start to finish.  Should take me another 6 days or so.   After that, I plan to pick up the Rat books (10 in all).  Then I am going to go back to work on this Elric Business (11 there).  That is my plan at least.  Maybe I will get through it all in the next week and a half, we shall see.
Now for the reason behind this post:
I am going to be very scarce for the next week and a half or so.  I am doing this not because I hate you all and don't want to talk to any of you, but because I fear what I may say or do.
I was about to go and write something here, but I realized that it was going to be a differently worded version of the above paragraph.
Stupid mind.
Or, rather, lack thereof.
So, goodnight for awhile.  I might keep you all up to date.  I need a project, so chances are, I will start reworking the grey site.  We shall see. 
Something like that usually helps me out, any layout suggestions or designing tips you have would be greatly apprecieated.  I am also looking to learn a bit more about style sheets.  Any assistance and or links would be great, but don't hurt yourself.
Also, I have galeharpring@gmail.com for your emailing pleasures.
Thanks

Got Goldfishes

Actual event from work the other night:
Woman comes and orders a fish sandwich.  We make it and give it to her.
Not five minutes later she is back at the counter.  Her purpose?  Return the uneaten fish sandwich for a roast beef sandwich.  Her reason?
"I can't eat this 'cause I ain't got no teeth!"
The woman is in her late twenties or early thirties.
So, she gets the sandwich she wants and as she is turning around to go sit down, the guy she is with comes up and starts yelling at her.
"YOU REALLY NEED TO GO BUY SOME TEETH WOMAN!"
My god, what a wonderful area I work in.

This is great

Rising Up Through The Air

Mozilla Lightningbug
I downloaded the FireSomething extension for my firefox broswer.  Great stuff there!
It gives you a product name generated from a customizable list.  Fun stuff there.
OOh! The main window was closed and reopened, and it came up as Mozilla Seastarfish.
It has 3 columns.
1. Vendor (Mozilla)
2. Prefixes (Fire)
3. Names (Fox)
Feel free to make some suggestions, especially in the vendor category.
I have added Radio Scrap and Beef Repository.
Fuego and Torgo have been added to the prefix browser, but that is the most creative I have come up with thus so far.
This message has been brought to you from my  LJ Client extension.

Down In The Tunnels Trying to Make It Pay

Music: Walk of Life ~ Dire Straits
I went off to sleep without saying anything to anyone, but someone who I have not seen for just over 2 years called and was all "So, ya wanna do something in the morning? 'Cause I have something for you that I have been carrying around for like the last 6 months, and seeing as how I am leaving again very early thursday morning, and yeah."
She went off to Oklahoma several years ago, and was in town for a couple of days this week. Seemingly got my cell phone number from one of the like 3 people I know from school that I still talk to.
Anyway, she got me the first 4 Dark Tower books. Her logic was "all your copies are all worn out and very sad looking, I know you won't replace them until the pages and covers fall off (she knows me so well), so I got you some of the new ones. Look! They're all shiny and black and and and yeah, isn't it cool!?"
To which I thanked her and then we wandered about doing things in Greenwood for a few hours.
I almost forgot how much I miss her sometimes.
